Wolves are ideally seeking a loan deal for reported Sunderland transfer target Tommy Doyle this summer, according to reports.

The midfielder has been touted for a move to the Stadium of Light for some time now, with the Black Cats initially credited with an interest in him back during the January window. Since then, speculation has emerged suggesting that Regis Le Bris’ side could look to reignite their pursuit of the ex-  Manchester City star over the coming weeks.

For his part, Doyle has fallen down the pecking order at Molineux under new boss Vitor Pereira, and since the head coach’s arrival in mid-December, the 23-year-old has started just one Premier League game – a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on January 6th. Since the end of February, he was afforded just two minutes of top flight action, and he failed to make an appearance in any of Wolves’ final nine league fixtures. Moreover, of those nine matches, he was omitted from the match day squad entirely on five occasions.
